There's quite a bit wrong with the post above.<br /><br />Someone thought/misremembered that the link to the <i>Digital by Default News</i> article had come from one of GDS's/GOV.UK's <i>Inside government Daily Digest Bulletin</i> emails. Someone is wrong and now needs to correct the mistake.<br /><br />Far from being published with the sanction of ex-<i>Guardian</i> man Mike Bracken, the conjunction of HMRC using GDS's identity assurance and Unisys publishing its opinion poll looks like being entirely the work of <a href="http://www.digitalbydefaultnews.co.uk/author/letitia/" rel="nofollow">Letitia Booty</a>, a sub on <i>Digital by Default News</i>.<br /><br />So should the post above be deleted?<br /><br />No.<br /><br />It makes a bad mistake where it wrongly suggests that there is a connection between <i>Digital by Default News</i> and GDS. A mistake that is now corrected.<br /><br />But on the big points, the post is right. Ex-<i>Guardian</i> man Mike Bracken <i>has</i> alienated DWP and the "identity providers" and he has nowhere else to turn for IDAP – there is no telling how he's going to provide the promised identity assurance to HMRC.David Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345636878071983416noreply@blogger.com
